John a Dear Friend Gone
"I carry your heart with me(I carry it in my heart) I am never without it"
Quote _ by E.E. Cummings
Miss you John
A dear friend has gone
So used to
Seeing you
In the residents lounge room
Now a place of gloom.
No goodbyes
Taken by surprise
Though you fought
The onslaught
Of all you’d been going through
We knew, John we knew.
Though deceased
In autumnal breeze
We’ll hear you
Behold you
In displays of russet leaves
Swirling down from trees.
Seasons come
And we are sure chum
You'll be near
Never fear
When the cold north wind doth blow
In sun, rain or snow.
We’ll treasure
The joy and pleasure
Of time shared
Of souls bared
In our heart and memory
Always, constantly.
Time to fly
To beyond the sky
Carry love
Up above
A keepsake to heaven sent
Sleep in sweet content.
